Send the following Big Idea to a friend:
Just looking through my journal from the week I spent at the Integral Institute’s Integral Life Practice seminar. (Great stuff, btw.)
Found these scribbles:
Buddhism tries to wake you up from your dream.
Psychologists try to make sure the dream doesn’t become a nightmare.
Interesting...

“I was experiencing (once again) some of the toughest few months of my life. But so was everyone else. My "go to" people for encouragement were "gone", off on their own crisis adventures. Suddenly, I was getting well intentioned but ultimately bad advice from strangers. I shut down a little I admit. Didn't want to try anymore. Didn't want to hear "When one door closes..." or "It's always darkest before the dawn." I saw a friend's post about Philosopher's Notes and clicked the link. They have been just enough sweetness to quell my growing bitterness. No cliches but somehow I already knew the lessons which gave me the confidence to listen to and trust myself. I became my own "go to" person in the process. Thank you for reminding me that I am my greatest resource.”
“Brian Johnson, Chief Philosopher, is the sommelier of self-development and an exemplar of what it means to be a Creator. His PhilosophersNotes distills the best of the wisdom literature – both contemporary and timeless – and gives his readers a well-researched taste of the essence of each book. Just like some wine tasters go more for chardonnay, while others prefer a pinot noir, the reader is introduced to a full range of Notes so they can determine which ones they may pursue to further their own learning and development. I raise a toast to Brian and his Notes and his contribution to conscious evolution!”
